Carrie Underwood and her fiancé, NHL hockey player Mike Fisher have been busy planning their nuptials since getting engaged in late December.

And while the Grammy-winning country singer’s fans have been lapping up every detail–including her preference of cupcakes over traditional wedding cake, and her dog Ace as the ring bearer–we’ve all been waiting for her to spill on “The Dress”. “It’s in the works,” the bride-to-be told reporters at the Pedigree Adoption Drive yesterday at the Bideawee animal shelter in NYC. “It’s really pretty. It’s very in the beginning stages and it’s very me. It’s just girly and pretty, and it’s simple and glamorous at the same time.”

Still yet to be determined is the exact wedding date, but it seems like the happy couple is simply enjoying being engaged. “We’ve never been in New York together, actually,” said Underwood, who’s juggling her own touring lineup with Fisher’s Ottawa Senators game schedule. “[Mike]’s always here playing the Islanders or something like that, but we’ve never been here at the same time.” Might we suggest a Big Apple honeymoon?

Carrie has been cast in her first studio movie, “Soul Surfer,” Access Hollywood has learned. The movie is based on the life of 19-year-old champion surfer Bethany Hamilton who, for over six years, has defied all odds to compete and win professional championships after losing her arm in a shark attack at age thirteen.

The former “American Idol” has been cast as Sarah Hill, a church youth leader.

The movie also stars AnnaSophia Robb as Bethany Hamilton, Helen Hunt as Bethany’s mother Cheri and Dennis Quaid as Bethany’s father Tom.

In addition, Jack Nicholson’s 19-year-old daughter, Lorraine, has landed the role of Hamilton’s best friend, Alana Blanchard, who was with Hamilton the day of the attack. Kevin Sorbo has been cast as Holt Blanchard.

Carrie Underwood is nervous she’ll make a performance fumble at this Sunday’s Super Bowl.

Said the singer, 26, who will sing the National Anthem, “My biggest fear is the words.

“Of course you know the words,” she continued to USA Today. “But if you’re going to mess up, that’d be the time, right?”

Underwood — who says she’ll be rooting for the Saints — also joked about her fave new song: “Pants on the Ground,” as performed by General Larry Platt on American Idol two weeks ago.

“As a songwriter I know we all aspire to write something that is catchy and has a message,” she said. “And I think the youth of America can learn a lot from Pants on the Ground. And they can pull their pants up… because it causes all kinds of back problems. I’ve seen the studies.”
